    That's just awesome!!!!
    I gotta try that, every year, I get them in the same area in my roof, I can't get the spary to them since it's too far up inside, I even took the whole soffit off once without any more luck.

    If you want something more durable than a paper bag you can try a Waspinator. I know a few people using them to keep wasps away from problem areas of their yard and they do work.

    You can also make a DIY wasp trap out of a plastic pop bottle. Cut the top round part off, invert it into the bottle and staple it together. Add some Coke or sugar water as bait and hang it near the problem area. The wasps will fly in but can't get out.

    just spoke with my mom & she had tried the paper-bag trick next to a Bee's nest... the bees then abandoned their nest & within three days she had no more bees in her yard

    Well, I guess we all get stuck in a rut sometimes. "bug spray" seems to have been a staple, always had a can in the garage since I was a kid in the 60s, never even gave it a second thought until last week when I posted this question.

    Exactly the kind of responses I was hoping for, THANKS!
